Konjac Powder ( Konjac Gum )

Konjac Products

Konjac powder is a natural water-soluble dietary fiber extracted from the tuber of the konjac plant (Amorphophallus konjac), with its primary component being glucomannan. As an exceptional hydrocolloid, it provides functions such as thickening, gelling, stabilizing, and water retention. It is widely used in various food products including meat sausages, jelly puddings, plant-based alternative foods, ice cream, flour-based products, pastries, canned meats, beverages, and edible films.
